Ren Zhifei stared out the window blankly. The dream just made him a little uneasy. The scene in the dream and Zhang Yi's frightened expression were still vivid in his mind. Just as Ren Zhifei was staring at the window in a daze, the bedroom door quietly opened.

"Xiao Fei, why don't you get some sleep during the holiday today?" Ren Zhifei was startled by the sudden voice. When he looked back, his mother appeared at the door, looking much calmer than yesterday.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ren Zhifei's panicked look, his mother couldn't help but look at herself, "Am I dressed strangely today?"

"Nothing... But Mom, could you please knock on the door and come in next time?" Ren Zhifei sighed and said helplessly.

Ren Zhifei's mother understood, "So that's it. If you take a break, breakfast will be ready soon." After saying that, Ren Zhifei's mother closed the door in a low voice.

"It's just a dream." Ren Zhifei comforted himself, got up from the bed, plucked up his energy, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

On the dining table, a steaming bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge exuded a mouth-watering aroma, and there were a few golden fried dough sticks on the middle plate. Ren Zhifei's index finger moved greatly when he saw it. He grabbed the fried dough sticks with one hand and picked up the porridge bowl with the other hand and started to devour it. After breakfast, Ren Zhifei looked at his mother who was still busy and asked, "Isn't dad back yet?"

"Your father didn't come back until almost twelve o'clock last night. You slept like a dead pig at that time and kept waking up. The company has been very busy recently and you went out before dawn again this morning." Mother thought of something, He smiled and asked, "What? Your trip has been cancelled, so you want to go to court with your dad to answer questions?"

Only then did Ren Zhifei realize that his father had worked so hard, and he replied sheepishly: "No."

Mother had already seen through Ren Zhifei's thoughts, smiled, and said while clearing the dishes: "Go get dressed quickly, and get the rabies vaccine later. This can't be delayed at all. As for the afternoon... you are allowed to go out to play with your classmates."

"Long live mom!" Ren Zhifei cheered happily.

In the morning, I went to the epidemic prevention station again, and this time I finally got the rabies vaccine. The stone in my mother's heart was finally lifted. Ren Zhifei looked at the scratch on the back of his hand. It had scabbed over after a night. When he moved his fingers, he felt a strange itchy and painful feeling when he brought it to the wound.

Ren Zhifei knew that this was a sign of wound healing. But what made him feel a little strange was that the scar was different from usual. Ren Zhifei is also naughty, and he will inevitably get a little injured from bumps and bumps. He clearly remembered that the scabs on those wounds were dark red and would naturally fall off over time. But this time, the scar was bright red, and the scab was not obvious. It didn't look like a wound, but it looked like it had been painted on with a bright red oil paint brush.

Ren Zhifei was a little worried, but the doctor said everything was normal and he couldn't say anything else. Ren Zhifei was a boy at heart. Within a few minutes, his mind had already reached the afternoon.

"Since the tour is cancelled, what should I do in the afternoon?" Ren Zhifei was lying on the bed and thinking wildly. He had no interest in doing homework or anything like that now. There was still plenty of time anyway. Gradually, the scene in the dream appeared in front of his eyes, and Ren Zhifei suddenly remembered the missed appointment last night.

Finding his cell phone, Ren Zhifei was thinking about how to explain to Zhang Yi. To his surprise, no one answered the call, and Zhang Yi's number turned out to be empty. "How could the number be empty?" Ren Zhifei looked at his phone inexplicably, and then gave himself a seemingly reasonable explanation, "Maybe it's due to arrears."

Ren Zhifei calmed himself down and stopped thinking, while he had already dialed Lang Zhijia's number.

"Zhifei? Call me when you have time to go out to play?" Lang Zhijia's voice rang in his ears.

Lang Zhijia didn't mention the missed appointment last night, which saved Ren Zhifei from the embarrassment of apologizing, so he replied easily: "Hey, don't mention it, the trip is cancelled."

"That's it. Let's gather at the stadium in the afternoon. Wu Xiaofeng and the others will be back."

Ren Zhifei was worried that he had no plans for the afternoon, so of course he happily agreed. After making an appointment with Lang Zhijia, Ren Zhifei hesitated whether to mention what happened last night, when he heard Lang Zhijia's mother urging him to have lunch.

Lang Zhijia agreed, told Ren Zhifei again about the time to meet, and then hung up the phone. Listening to Lang Zhijia's tone of voice, which seemed to mean no blame, Ren Zhifei felt much more relaxed. Thinking that we could meet in the afternoon anyway, it wouldn't be too late to apologize to them then.

Looking at the alarm clock on the table, Ren Zhifei carefully recalled the time he had agreed to meet. "It's two o'clock in the afternoon. We can't miss the appointment again this time." Ren Zhifei clenched his fists and determined to be a man who kept his promises, but his stomach He shouted uncooperatively, and the momentum he had managed to gather just now was gone.

Mother's voice sounded just right outside the door, "Xiao Fei, come out to eat."

2 p.m.

Ren Zhifei showed up on the court on time. Strictly speaking, he arrived two minutes early. Today is the first day of the long vacation. The air after the rain is cool, and even if the sun comes out, it is not as dazzling as before. A lot of people have gathered on the basketball court, and we are playing in full swing.

Ren Zhifei stared at the basketball court that was occupied by others. Not far away, Lang Zhijia was waving to Ren Zhifei. Ren Zhifei walked over and found that Wu Xiaofeng, Cheng Peng and Zheng Xiaojun had arrived.

As soon as Lang Zhijia saw Ren Zhifei, she pulled him and ran out, "You're just in time, kid! Come with me quickly!"

"What's wrong? Aren't you playing ball?" Ren Zhifei said confused.

"The appointment on the basketball court may not necessarily be for playing basketball!" Wu Xiaofeng patted Ren Zhifei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We are probably doing this to cover Cheng Peng. Do you understand this is called counter-reconnaissance?"

Cheng Peng scratched his head in embarrassment. Zheng Xiaojun explained: "Cheng Peng's mother is very strict and only lets him go out if he says he is playing ball."

Lang Zhijia said proudly: "I came up with this idea. It's not bad. Zhao Cong and the others in the next class have made an appointment with us to do 5V5. This time we must teach them how to behave!"

Ren Zhifei finally realized that the real purpose this time was to play games in an Internet cafe. Everyone ran all the way to the Internet cafe not far from the basketball court, and luckily found a row of five people sitting together. Ren Zhifei finally discovered that Zhang Yi didn't come today.

Seeing that Ren Zhifei hadn't entered the game yet, Lang Zhijia urged: "Why are you still sitting there stupidly? Zhao Cong and his gang are already online. Start the game quickly!"

Ren Zhifei clicked on the game, looked around again, and asked, "Zhang Yi didn't come today?"

Lang Zhijia focused on the game and replied casually: "Zhang Yi? Who is it?"

Ren Zhifei was stunned by the other party's answer, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment. Seeing that Lang Zhijia's expression was natural, it didn't look like he was joking. Apart from himself, Lang Zhijia and Zhang Yi have the best relationship, how could they not know each other? Could it be that Lang Zhijia and Zhang Yi had a conflict? Or what happened during yesterday’s adventure

Ren Zhifei organized some words in his mind and wanted to ask tentatively, but he heard Lang Zhijia yelling excitedly: "The game has begun! Crush them!"

Ren Zhifei swallowed his words even as he spoke, and could only focus on the game first. Lang Zhijia is extremely serious about the game and will be criticized by him if he does not perform well. Then Ren Zhifei thought that Zhang Yi was good at everything, but he was terrible at games. It was probably for this reason that Lang Zhijia didn't call him.

This is a very reasonable explanation. Ren Zhifei put away his random thoughts and finally devoted himself fully to the game.

Game time always flies by so fast, and without paying attention, Ren Zhifei has already spent the whole afternoon in the Internet cafe. The last game ended. With Lang Zhijia's exquisite operation and Ren Zhifei's seamless cooperation, everyone won the final victory with a huge head ratio and economic difference. The word "Victory" in bright colors is fixed in the center of the picture, which is a perfect end to the afternoon.

Lang Zhijia's face was flushed with joy, and he was still laughing when he left the Internet cafe, attracting the attention of people around him. Ren Zhifei and the others wanted to stay away from this bastard immediately to avoid being recognized as being together.

Several people passed by the dangerous building and said goodbye to each other at the intersection ahead. Ren Zhifei watched everyone go away, but he hesitated. He felt like there was something hanging in his heart that could never land. Ren Zhifei always felt uncomfortable not seeing Zhang Yi today. Before the sun went down, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Yi's house.
